_WinApi_GetWindowLong Help

[vladedoty]

I know how to obtain all these values

$GWL_EXSTYLE

$GWL_STYLE

$GWL_WNDPROC

$GWL_HINSTANCE

$GWL_HWNDPARENT

$GWL_ID

$GWL_USERDATA

but in .Net there are 3 extra values that i need to get for Autoit. Specifically DWL_USER.

Is there a way to get this value?

The additional values defined here: MSDN: GetWindowLong Function are:

GLOBAL CONST $DWL_DLGPROC = 4
GLOBAL CONST $DWL_MSGRESULT = 0
GLOBAL CONST $DWL_USER = 8

vladedoty,

Have you heard of Google? It is really easy to use!

Const GWL_EXSTYLE = -20
Const GWL_HINSTANCE = -6
Const GWL_HWNDPARENT = -8
Const GWL_ID = -12
Const GWL_STYLE = -16
Const GWL_USERDATA = -21
Const GWL_WNDPROC = -4
Const DWL_DLGPROC = 4
Const DWL_MSGRESULT = 0
Const DWL_USER = 8

P.S. Do let us see the results.

i realize the values in C and VB

but i notice that the autoit variables are GWL not DWL and when i search the index it does not show these values so i wasnt sure if i could use them

so its still DWL_USER and not GWL_USER?

i obviously used google and really didnt need to cause i program in C# so i already knew these values

my question was for autoit

vladedoty,

You can use the integer values directly in AutoIt. The $GWL_* values are just set as Global Consts in the relevant include file and are only a user-friendly way of using the integer values (just like all the style variables).

Sorry if I sounded a bit tetchy - it has not been a good day for various reasons.

GWL = GUI Window Long (or maybe "General Window Long")

DWL = Dialog Window Long

The DWL longs are only valid if it's a dialog window. See the MSDN article I linked earlier:

The following values are also available when the hWnd parameter identifies a dialog box.

DWL_DLGPROC

Retrieves the address of the dialog box procedure, or a handle representing the address of the dialog box procedure. You must use the CallWindowProc function to call the dialog box procedure.

DWL_MSGRESULT

Retrieves the return value of a message processed in the dialog box procedure.

DWL_USER

Retrieves extra information private to the application, such as handles or pointers.

Doesn't change how it's used in the function.
